     1 NSS is available under the Mozilla Public License, version 2, a copy of which
     2 is below.
     4 Note on GPL Compatibility
     5 -------------------------
     7 The MPL 2, section 3.3, permits you to combine NSS with code under the GNU
     8 General Public License (GPL) version 2, or any later version of that
     9 license, to make a Larger Work, and distribute the result under the GPL.
    10 The only condition is that you must also make NSS, and any changes you
    11 have made to it, available to recipients under the terms of the MPL 2 also.
    13 Anyone who receives the combined code from you does not have to continue
    14 to dual licence in this way, and may, if they wish, distribute under the
    15 terms of either of the two licences - either the MPL alone or the GPL
    16 alone. However, we discourage people from distributing copies of NSS under
    17 the GPL alone, because it means that any improvements they make cannot be
    18 reincorporated into the main version of NSS. There is never a need to do
    19 this for license compatibility reasons.
    21 Note on LGPL Compatibility
    22 --------------------------
    24 The above also applies to combining MPLed code in a single library with
    25 code under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 2.1, or
    26 any later version of that license. If the LGPLed code and the MPLed code
    27 are not in the same library, then the copyleft coverage of the two
    28 licences does not overlap, so no issues arise.

   119 2.1. Grants
   121 Each Contributor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free,
   122 non-exclusive license:
   124 (a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark)
   125     Licensable by such Contributor to use, reproduce, make available,
   126     modify, display, perform, distribute, and otherwise exploit its
   127     Contributions, either on an unmodified basis, with Modifications, or

   132     Contributions or its Contributor Version.
   134 2.2. Effective Date
   136 The licenses granted in Section 2.1 with respect to any Contribution
   137 become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first
   138 distributes such Contribution.
   140 2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope
   142 The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under
   143 this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the
   144 distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License.
   145 Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a
   146 Contributor:
   148 (a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software;
   149     or
   151 (b) for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's
   152     modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its
   153     Contributions with other software (except as part of its Contributor
   154     Version); or
   156 (c) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
   157     its Contributions.
   159 This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks,
   160 or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with
   161 the notice requirements in Section 3.4).
   163 2.4. Subsequent Licenses
   165 No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to
   166 distribute the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this
   167 License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if
   168 permitted under the terms of Section 3.3).
   170 2.5. Representation
   172 Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its
   173 Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights
   174 to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.
   176 2.6. Fair Use
   178 This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under
   179 applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other
   180 equivalents.
   182 2.7. Conditions
   184 Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted
   185 in Section 2.1.
   187 3. Responsibilities
   188 -------------------
   190 3.1. Distribution of Source Form
   192 All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
   193 Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
   194 the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
   195 Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
   196 License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
   197 attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
   198 Form.
   200 3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
   202 If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
   204 (a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
   205     Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
   206     the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
   207     Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
   208     than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
   210 (b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
   211     License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
   212     license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
   213     the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
   215 3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
   217 You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
   218 provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
   219 the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
   220 Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
   221 Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
   222 License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
   223 under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
   224 the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
   225 Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
   226 License(s).
   228 3.4. Notices
   230 You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
   231 (including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
   232 or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
   233 the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
   234 the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
   236 3.5. Application of Additional Terms
   238 You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
   239 indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
   240 Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
   241 behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
   242 such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
   243 You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
   244 liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
   245 indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
   246 disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
   247 jurisdiction.
   249 4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
   250 ---------------------------------------------------
   252 If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
   253 License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
   254 statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
   255 the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
   256 describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
   257 be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
   258 Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
   259 or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
   260 recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
   262 5. Termination
   263 --------------
   265 5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
   266 if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
   267 compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
   268 Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
   269 Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
   270 ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
   271 non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
   272 come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
   273 Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
   274 notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
   275 first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
   276 from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
   277 Your receipt of the notice.
   279 5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
   280 infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
   281 counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
   282 directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
   283 You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
   284 2.1 of this License shall terminate.
   286 5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
   287 end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
   288 have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
   289 prior to termination shall survive termination.

   296 *  Covered Software is provided under this License on an "as is"       *
   297 *  basis, without warranty of any kind, either expressed, implied, or  *
   298 *  statutory, including, without limitation, warranties that the       *
   299 *  Covered Software is free of defects, merchantable, fit for a        *
   300 *  particular purpose or non-infringing. The entire risk as to the     *
   301 *  quality and performance of the Covered Software is with You.        *
   302 *  Should any Covered Software prove defective in any respect, You     *
   303 *  (not any Contributor) assume the cost of any necessary servicing,   *

   307 *                                                                      *

   318 *  permitted above, be liable to You for any direct, indirect,         *
   319 *  special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character      *
   320 *  including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, loss of    *

   322 *  and all other commercial damages or losses, even if such party      *

   326 *  extent applicable law prohibits such limitation. Some               *
   327 *  jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of           *
   328 *  incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion and          *
   329 *  limitation may not apply to You.                                    *
   330 *                                                                      *

   333 8. Litigation
   334 -------------
   336 Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the
   337 courts of a jurisdiction where the defendant maintains its principal
   338 place of business and such litigation shall be governed by laws of that
   339 jurisdiction, without reference to its conflict-of-law provisions.
   340 Nothing in this Section shall prevent a party's ability to bring
   341 cross-claims or counter-claims.
   343 9. Miscellaneous
   344 ----------------
   346 This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject
   347 matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
   348 unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
   349 necessary to make it enforceable. Any law or regulation which provides
   350 that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter
   351 shall not be used to construe this License against a Contributor.
   353 10. Versions of the License
   354 ---------------------------
   356 10.1. New Versions
   358 Mozilla Foundation is the license steward. Except as provided in Section
   359 10.3, no one other than the license steward has the right to modify or
   360 publish new versions of this License. Each version will be given a
   361 distinguishing version number.
   363 10.2. Effect of New Versions
   365 You may distribute the Covered Software under the terms of the version
   366 of the License under which You originally received the Covered Software,
   367 or under the terms of any subsequent version published by the license
   368 steward.
   370 10.3. Modified Versions
   372 If you create software not governed by this License, and you want to
   373 create a new license for such software, you may create and use a
   374 modified version of this License if you rename the license and remove
   375 any references to the name of the license steward (except to note that
   376 such modified license differs from this License).
   378 10.4. Distributing Source Code Form that is Incompatible With Secondary
   379 Licenses
   381 If You choose to distribute Source Code Form that is Incompatible With
   382 Secondary Licenses under the terms of this version of the License, the
   383 notice described in Exhibit B of this License must be attached.
   385 Exhibit A - Source Code Form License Notice
